"Excuse" is what you call inconvenient gaps in your information that I point out.

If you were honest, and said, "Here is what I know. It doesn't prove anything, but it is enough for me." That would be one thing. But you post as if you are 100% correct, and you are just waiting for the facts to catch up with your prefabricated position. I'm willing to wait for the facts to come out. In the meantime, I will point out when you don't have all the facts when you are pretending that you do.

Freedom consists of the distribution of power, and despotism in its concentration.

No excuses necessary given what we know...unless you are filling in with Frankesque assumptions.

But, you act like you do know, and you chastise me for not acting like I know. I'll wait for all the evidence.

As a lawyer, you should know better than most that half of a story can indicate guilt even in a perfectly innocent situation...perfectly innocent once 100% of the facts are known. I'm not arguing Trump is innocent of anything. I am pointing out that 100% of the facts are not known, and there may be explanations we don't know. You don't like that, and I get it. You are possessed on this issue. All good.

I’m talking about what is already known including Trump Tower and Manafort.

I haven't heard anything that ties Trump to the Russia fake news stuff.

Steele has Russian connections. Regardless, he is a foreign agent. The dossier includes things that the Dems sent to him. Very shady, but apparently it is ok to share information with foreign intelligence agents in order to influence a US election. And note: It is far worse to do this in order to improperly justify illegally using the US intelligence agencies to spy on the opposition party than it is to do so to get the Russians to pay for ads on Facebook. The two types of collusion are not even comparable. The Dem's acts, if true, were far worse than the Trump acts, if true.

Except it didn’t start the investigation and parts of it have been corroborated.
